Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、車両用電源システム、特に、電気自動車やハイブリッド自動車等に搭載される回転電機を制御するインバータユニットとバッテリとの位置関係に関するものであり、回転電機のトルク特性を向上させることができる車両用電源システムに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
地球温暖化防止を背景にＣＯ２の排出量削減が求められている。
自動車におけるＣＯ２の削減は、燃費性能の向上を意味しており、その解決策の一つとして、電気自動車（ＥＶ）あるいはハイブリッド自動車（ＨＥＶ）の開発、実用化が進められている。
ここで特に、ハイブリッド自動車に搭載される回転電機に要求される機能としては、車両停止時のアイドリングストップ、減速走行中のエネルギー回生、加速走行中のトルクアシスト等であり、これらの実現によって燃費性能の向上が可能となっている。
【０００３】
従来技術においては、回転電機を駆動するインバータを含むコントロールユニットをエンジンルーム内に設置し、バッテリを車両後方の隔室に設置する等の構成を具備するものであった（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
このような構成では、このバッテリと前記インバータを含むコントロールユニットを接続する直流配線が長くなって、この直流配線での電圧降下が大きくなり、回転電機において所望するトルクと所望する回転速度の両方を得ようとするならば、結果的にバッテリ電圧を高電圧化せざるを得ないという状況が発生し、大幅なコストアップと重量増加を招いてしまうという課題があった。
【０００４】
【特許文献１】
特開平７−８９３５５号公報（第４頁、図５−８）
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するために、バッテリの近傍にインバータユニットを設置して、バッテリとインバータユニット間の直流配線を短縮し、直流配線による電圧降下を低減することによって、回転電機のトルク特性を向上できるとともに、インバータユニットを確実にバッテリに固定でき、しかも、インバータユニットとバッテリを接続する直流配線に過大な応力が加わることを回避できて断線などの不具合を回避でき、かつ、取り付け作業を容易に行える軽量で安価な車両用電源システムを得ることを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明に係る車両用電源システムでは、バッテリを車両本体に装着する取付部材に前記インバータユニットを固着することにより前記直流配線が前記交流配線以下に短くなるように前記インバータユニットを前記バッテリの近傍に設置し、かつ、前記バッテリと前記インバータユニットを電気的に接続する電気接続体により、前記インバータユニットを前記バッテリに保持固定するようにしたものであって、前記インバータユニットの筐体が前記バッテリを保持する筐体の機能も有するものである。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
実施の形態１．
この発明による実施の形態１を図１から図３までについて説明する。図１は実施の形態１における構成を示す斜視図である。図２は実施の形態１における車両全体の配置関係を示す概念図である。図３は実施の形態１における回転電機のトルク特性を示す曲線図である。
図３は、この発明の実施の形態１に係わるインバータユニットの取り付け構造時の回転電機２のトルク特性と、従来のハイブリッド自動車において高電圧バッテリの代わりに１２Ｖバッテリを用いた時のトルク特性との比較の一例であり、回転電機の回転速度に換算したエンジンの負荷トルク特性も同時に示しており、それぞれのトルク特性との交点は始動時のクランキング回転速度のポイントを示している。

図１において、インバータユニット（但し、ＤＣ−ＤＣコンバータ内蔵なし）４００は、図示しないインバータモジュール部と制御部を内蔵したインバータユニット本体４０１と、主にインバータモジュール部で発生した熱を放熱するための放熱フィン４０２から成り、インバータユニット本体４０１に設けられた正極端子４０３と１２Ｖバッテリ６の正極ターミナル６１は正極直流配線８１によって電気接続されている。
また同様に、インバータユニット本体４０１に設けられた負極端子４０４（図示せず）と１２Ｖバッテリ６の負極ターミナル６２（図示せず）は負極直流配線８２（図示せず）によって電気接続されている。
なお、１２Ｖバッテリ６の負極ターミナル６２は別配線にて車両にボディアースされているものとする。
三相交流配線９の一端は、上記インバータユニット本体４０１に設けられた三相端子（図示せず）に接続され、他端は回転電機２のそれぞれに対応した三相端子に接続されている。
【０００９】
インバータユニット４００は、バッテリ固定プレート１５にネジ止め固定されており、このバッテリ固定プレート１５はバッテリトレイ１６に対して１２Ｖバッテリ６を挟み込む状態で、取付ボルト１７とナット１８によって少なくとも２箇所で締め付け固定されており、バッテリトレイ１６は図示していない部分で車両のボディに固定されている。
従って、インバータユニット４００は、１２Ｖバッテリ６の上端面において、バッテリ固定プレート１５、取付ボルト１７およびナット１８、１２Ｖバッテリ６およびバッテリトレイ１６を介して、車両のボディに対して固定されることになる。
【００１０】
このようなインバータユニットの取り付け構造においては、バッテリの上端面にインバータユニットを一体的に取り付ける構造なので、バッテリの上端にインバータユニットを取り付けるスペースを確保さえすれば、エンジンルーム内にインバータユニットとバッテリを同時に装着することが可能になる。
さらに、図１からもわかるように、バッテリとインバータユニットを電気接続する正極直流配線８１および負極直流配線８２の長さが最小限となるため、配線抵抗による電圧降下も最小に抑えることができる。
【００１１】
図２において、回転電機２は巻線界磁式同期電動機であり、１２Ｖバッテリ６から直流配線８１，８２を介してインバータユニット４００に給電された直流電力がインバータユニット４００によって三相交流電力に変換され、その三相交流電力が三相交流配線９を介して上記回転電機２に給電されることによって運転される。
このように運転された回転電機２の回転動力は、回転電機用プーリ１２からベルト１４を介してクランクプーリ１１および補機用プーリ１３に伝達される。
ここで、エンジン１のクランクシャフトとクランクプーリ１１の間に設置されているクラッチ装置１０は、オン（結合）の場合には上記回転電機２からの回転動力をエンジン１に伝達したり、あるいはエンジン１からの回転動力をクランクプーリ１１およびベルト１４を介して回転電機２および補機３に伝達するが、オフ（非結合）の場合には、クランクプーリ１１とエンジン１との動力の受け渡しを相互に遮断する。
車両に搭載されている電気負荷も上記１２Ｖバッテリ６から給電されており、スタータ７も１２Ｖバッテリ６から給電され、運転される。
【００１２】
次に、このようにバッテリとインバータユニット間の配線抵抗を減らすことによって回転電機２のトルク特性がどの程度改善され、またトルク特性が改善されたことによってエンジンの始動時における回転電機２によるクランキング回転速度がどの程度向上するか、図３のトルク特性の比較例において説明する。
図３のグラフにおいて、横軸は回転電機の回転速度を表わし、縦軸は各回転速度における発生トルク値を表わしている。
ここで、曲線（１）は従来の長い直流配線によるトルク特性を表わし、曲線（２）は従来の配線に比べて、バッテリの内部抵抗も含めた配線抵抗が約半分になるように配線抵抗を低減した場合のこの発明による実施の形態１におけるトルク特性を表わしている。
曲線（３）はあるエンジンの負荷トルク特性を表わしており、この曲線（３）と上記曲線（１），曲線（２）との交点は、それぞれのトルク特性時の回転電機によるエンジンのクランキング回転速度（但し、図３ではクランキング時の回転電機の回転速度を表わす）を示している。
この図３の場合には、従来の直流配線に比べ、バッテリの内部抵抗も含めた配線抵抗を約半分に低減したことによって、クランキング回転速度を約２５％アップすることができるという効果がわかる。

従って、一般電気負荷用の１２Ｖバッテリと回転電機用の高電圧バッテリの２種類バッテリや長い直流配線を装備することなく、また、ＤＣ−ＤＣコンバータ等も追加装備することがないので、大幅なコストアップと重量増加を回避できる効果がある。

（２Ｃ） 車両の場合、通常、バッテリはエンジンルームの上部に配置されるので、インバータユニットをさらにそのバッテリの上方に設置した場合には、車両下方からの被水を防止できる。
（２Ｄ） インバータユニットをバッテリと一体的に固定したので、外部からの振動に対し、インバータユニットとバッテリが別々の動きをすることが防止できるので、インバータユニットとバッテリを接続する直流配線に過大な応力が加わることが回避でき、断線などの不具合を防止できる。

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration in the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the arrangement relationship of the entire vehicle in the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a curve diagram showing torque characteristics of the rotating electrical machine in the first embodiment.
FIG. 3 shows the torque characteristics of the rotating electrical machine 2 when the inverter unit mounting structure according to the first embodiment of the present invention is used, and the torque characteristics when a 12V battery is used instead of a high-voltage battery in a conventional hybrid vehicle. It is an example of comparison, the engine load torque characteristic converted into the rotation speed of the rotating electrical machine is also shown at the same time, and the intersection with each torque characteristic indicates the cranking rotation speed point at the start.
[0008]
In FIG. 1, an inverter unit 400 (with no DC-DC converter built-in) 400 is used to dissipate heat generated mainly in the inverter module unit and an inverter unit main body 401 having a built-in inverter module unit and a control unit (not shown). A positive terminal 403 provided on the inverter unit main body 401 and the positive terminal 61 of the 12V battery 6, which is composed of heat radiation fins 402, is electrically connected by a positive DC wiring 81.
Similarly, a negative electrode terminal 404 (not shown) provided on the inverter unit main body 401 and a negative electrode terminal 62 (not shown) of the 12V battery 6 are electrically connected by a negative DC wiring 82 (not shown).
It is assumed that the negative terminal 62 of the 12V battery 6 is body-grounded to the vehicle by separate wiring.
One end of the three-phase AC wiring 9 is connected to a three-phase terminal (not shown) provided in the inverter unit main body 401, and the other end is connected to a three-phase terminal corresponding to each of the rotating electrical machines 2.

The inverter unit 400 is fixed to the battery fixing plate 15 with screws. The battery fixing plate 15 is clamped and fixed at least at two places by the mounting bolts 17 and the nuts 18 with the 12V battery 6 being sandwiched between the battery tray 16 and the battery fixing plate 15. The battery tray 16 is fixed to the vehicle body at a portion not shown.

Therefore, as long as a space for mounting the inverter unit on the upper end of the battery is secured, the inverter unit and the battery are installed in the engine room. It becomes possible to install at the same time.
Further, as can be seen from FIG. 1, since the lengths of the positive DC wiring 81 and the negative DC wiring 82 that electrically connect the battery and the inverter unit are minimized, a voltage drop due to wiring resistance can be minimized.
[0011]
In FIG. 2, the rotating electrical machine 2 is a wound field synchronous motor, and DC power fed from the 12V battery 6 to the inverter unit 400 via the DC wirings 81 and 82 is converted into three-phase AC power by the inverter unit 400. The three-phase AC power is supplied to the rotating electrical machine 2 through the three-phase AC wiring 9 to operate.
The rotational power of the rotating electrical machine 2 operated in this way is transmitted from the rotating electrical machine pulley 12 to the crank pulley 11 and the accessory pulley 13 via the belt 14.

Next, how much the torque characteristic of the rotating electrical machine 2 is improved by reducing the wiring resistance between the battery and the inverter unit in this way, and the cranking by the rotating electrical machine 2 at the start of the engine is improved by the improved torque characteristic. How much the rotational speed is improved will be described in a comparative example of torque characteristics in FIG.
In the graph of FIG. 3, the horizontal axis represents the rotational speed of the rotating electrical machine, and the vertical axis represents the generated torque value at each rotational speed.
Here, curve (1) represents the torque characteristics of the conventional long DC wiring, and curve (2) shows the wiring resistance so that the wiring resistance including the internal resistance of the battery is about half that of the conventional wiring. The torque characteristic in Embodiment 1 by this invention at the time of reducing is represented.
A curve (3) represents a load torque characteristic of a certain engine, and an intersection of the curve (3) and the curves (1) and (2) indicates cranking of the engine by the rotating electrical machine at each torque characteristic. The rotational speed (however, in FIG. 3 represents the rotational speed of the rotating electrical machine during cranking).
In the case of FIG. 3, it can be seen that the cranking rotational speed can be increased by about 25% by reducing the wiring resistance including the internal resistance of the battery by about half compared to the conventional DC wiring. .
